When to Use This Type of Pie Chart

Nonprofits are held to high standards of financial transparency. Pie charts offer a straightforward way to show donors, board members, and grant-making bodies exactly how funds are used, building trust and reinforcing your organization's commitment to its mission.

Annual reports and donor updates

Show supporters how their contributions were allocated across programs, administration, and fundraising to demonstrate responsible stewardship of donations.

Grant proposals and applications

Include a pie chart in grant proposals to illustrate how requested funds will be distributed across project activities, staffing, and overhead.

Board presentations and governance reports

Present financial summaries to the board of directors with pie charts that quickly communicate budget allocation, revenue sources, and spending priorities.

Best Practices
  • Emphasize program spending by using a bold color for that slice to highlight mission-focused allocation.
  • Include both dollar amounts and percentages to satisfy donors who want precise figures.
  • Keep the chart simple with 4-6 categories that align with standard nonprofit financial reporting.
  • Use the same color scheme across all annual reports for year-over-year visual consistency.
  • Add a comparison note showing how your overhead ratio compares to industry benchmarks (e.g., Charity Navigator standards).
  • Always cite audited financial statements as the data source.
